of a prosperous future. 1t shows

advances on next years erCp, these people
hnd themselves driven to an kinds OF Job
work and make shifts Co provide for themselves
and families. In fact, the hardships and
priyations OF the present season are teaching
cur Whole population very severe but salu-
tary lesson. ON all sides can be heard ex
pressions from farmers and others dcnOting

eive~more attention to tie production Of the

very profitable, as il begins to look as if we
